Student 1( darnice): how long do you think the business recession will last, and why
You’ve definitely heard rumblings about worries of an oncoming recession given the recent talk of inflation, interest rates, and job opportunities. Although we aren’t currently in one, analysts largely predict that the United States will go through a recession this year. Governments essentially shut down large sectors of their economy to stop the spread of Covid, which led to the Covid-19 recession. But, many recovered swiftly when the globe reopened because they were well-positioned before the arrival of Covid. Economic stimulus initiatives provided the economy in certain nations, including the U.S., the boost it needed to get back on track.”The rapid revival will occur because this recession, unlike the three previous big slumps since the Depression, is unnecessary. As a result, the Federal Reserve can move aggressively to end the downturn”(Krugman,1991).

Nonetheless, Covid-19’s effects are still being felt. While there has been a significant improvement in the job situation, supply chain bottlenecks and soaring corporate profits have caused prices to soar. Most analysts now believe that this modest recession will endure somewhere between a few months and more than a year. So we’ll simply have to wait and watch until—and if—it occurs.

which industries will be the fastest and slowest to recover, and why
For several industries, it will take years to return to pre-epidemic levels. Small firms, which make up a large portion of those industries, may take considerably longer, if they recover at all. While certain sectors of the economy have recovered to pre-pandemic levels, others are still not completely out of the woods. “Although a tightened credit supply constrained some small firms, weak consumer demand for the firms’ products and services was a more pressing factor, reducing revenues and dampening new investment spending”(Sahin,2011).

The PYMNTS Main Street Index, which we analyze based on growth in new businesses, real earnings, and employment, indicates that the fitness, retail, and restaurant industries are still experiencing the effects of persistent social distancing practices.

The ratings on the index for fitness facilities are 3.4% lower than they were prior to the pandemic, which is the greatest departure of the three categories from pre-pandemic levels.
